Fork behaviour question

[Michael Pokraka]

Stephan's suggestion is what you want if this step is still required after the
WF completes and if it doesn't matter whether it's done or not.
 
An alternative is to simply use a fork which terminates right at the end of the WF when both branches are complete. This obviously also only works if you're not in a loop structure. In some cases this may be desirable as it keeps things a bit 'neater'. You couls even model a longish deadline to make the task simply expire after a while - thus still completing the WF in the end.
